This guide is packed full of useful information presented in easy to follow language. The layout makes this extremely user friendly. In the first two chapters principals are presented with clarity so you understand exactly what you will be learning in the guide and how it will be useful to agility in your business. The remaining chapters go into more detail about the six pillars of enterprise agility and OKRs (Objective and Key Results) I like the that each concept has examples and I also thought the quotes throughout were a nice touch.

Good for beginners and experts

When I read I.T. books, I like to see them concise and easy to follow. This book is certainly that. I have worked as a Software Engineer for many years, and I still found value in the ideas the author lays out. It was good to tick off what I have seen in practice, and consider how to plan new chunks of work I will deliver in the future.

Summary, I can use what I have learnt from reading this book.

It is a good book which gives different perspectives on the house of enterprise agility. The six pillars of enterprise agility has been explained in a simple language and it is easy to understand. The OKR has been clearly explained and the examples were given on OKR mapped with several pillars which is easily understandable.

I think that it is a good book if you want to learn more about agility and OKRs. However the book focuses more on agility than OKRs itself. So there is not much details about OKRs as much as I expected.

Clear and useful structure of enterprise agility and OKRs

Very good and clear structure of Enterprise Agility + OKRs, I really love the lean perspective and the relationship of each EA pillar with OKRs. More and clear examples would deliver a 5 starts title. Thanks.
